Robinson, the release said, has been charged with domestic violence and violation of an injunction for protection against domestic violence.

An investigation into the incident that precipitated the firing began in late December when deputies responded to Robinson’s home following a report of an altercation involving Robinson and two other individuals, including her estranged husband.

An investigation found that probable cause existed to forward charges to the State Attorney’s Office for simple battery on her husband. Her husband and current boyfriend were also charged with battery on each other, Wells said.

"The investigation revealed that Robinson struck the victim with her knee and placed him in a neck hold," the release said.

She was placed on administrative leave and while on leave was was arrested by deputies for violation of an injunction that was issued subsequent to her being charged with domestic violence, according to the release.

The internal investigation sustained "a gross violation of the standards of conduct set forth for members of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office," the release said.
